A
BACKGROUND The purpose of this Annual Report Guide is to provide minimum requirements of information that must be included in a National or Provincial Department’s Annual Report. The Annual Report provides information of performance against plans and budgets. Adherence to the format of this guide will enhance departments’ coverage of all aspects pertaining to the departments’ activities and financial performance, and will promote ease of reference and comparison for users of the Annual Report. The guide is congruent to other frameworks issued for national and provincial departments such as the Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans, Framework for Managing Programme Performance Information and the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework Guide. In line with the Transfer of Functions – Financial Accounting and Reporting Guide, new departments that have fully completed the organisational approval process, including obtaining approval for the new establishment, function shifts and the new budget programme structures from the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) and the National Treasury respectively, will have to report separately on activities of the financial year in the annual report. Departments must note that the guide provides guidance on the non-financial information requirements of the Annual Report. In other words, the guidance is on all sections of the Annual Report except the Annual Financial Statements section. The Annual Financial Statements section is dealt with in a separate guide, namely the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework Guide, that can be obtained from the Office of the Accountant-General (OAG) website. It is imperative that any narrative or figures in the non-financial information part of the Annual Report correspond with information reported in the Annual Financial Statements. The following must be noted: The areas written in italics and in the colour red must be updated accordingly, Additional relevant information can be provided at the department’s discretion, Where necessary, pictures, graphs and diagrams can be added to enhance the information, The sequence of information to be reported on must not be changed, even if additional information is provided, A reporting requirement that is included in the guide that is not applicable to the department can be excluded from the annual report, Departments must exercise due care when spending to produce an annual report, The annual report, including the information on predetermined objectives must be submitted to the AGSA by 31 May.

The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
Submission of the annual report to the Auditor-General (AGSA): The annual report must be submitted to the Auditor-General by 31 May 2011. The Auditor–General will review the contents of the annual report to ensure that the content of the annual report is consistent with the annual financial statements. A confirmation letter must be completed by the Accounting Officer to accept responsibility for the accuracy and fair presentation of the Annual Report including the information on predetermined objectives submitted to the AGSA and relevant treasury, and confirms that the Annual Report conforms to certain set guidelines. A copy of this letter is attached to this guide. It is the same letter as the one included in Chapter 1 of the Departmental Financial Reporting Framework Guide.
B

GENERAL INFORMATION
Vision, Mission and Values Vision A vision is an inspiring picture of a preferred future. It is not time-bound and serves as a foundation for all policy development and planning, including Strategic Planning. It should be specific to the institution but linked to the overall vision of a particular sector or cluster.
(The department must state the Vision of the Department.)
Mission A mission statement sets out the reason for an institution’s existence based on its legislative mandates, functions and responsibilities. The mission should succinctly identify what the institution does, why and for whom. In the budget documentation, the stated mission of the department should be the same as the Vote aim.
(The department must state the Mission of the Department.)
Values Values identify the principles for the conduct of the institution in carrying out its mission. Institutional values are derived in conjunction with the institution’s mission. These values should define a citizenoriented approach for producing and delivering government services in line with the Batho Pele principles.
(The department must state the Values of the Department.)
10
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
Organisational Structure The organisational structure must include details of the Minister, Deputy Minister/s, Director General/Head of Department and Deputy Director-Generals (or equivalent). Pictures may be added to the organisational structure.
(The Department must provide its organisational structure.)
Legislative Mandate The legislative mandate refers to the legislation that governs the existence of the department and its operations. There is an overarching mandate for the existence of each department. There is also legislation that is not entity-specific but governs other departments in the cluster, province or/and national sphere of government. An example of non-entity-specific legislation is the PFMA. (The department must state: Its legislative mandate stating the actual legislation reference starting with the “overarching mandate” , Non-entity-specific legislation, and, List of all legislation tabled in parliament during 2011/12 financial year.
Entities Reporting to the Minister The department must provide information on any other entities that report to its executive authority. The information is meaningful as it provides details of entities related to the department. The information furnished in this section should correlate with information provided in the related party transactions disclosure note to the financial statements. The department may elect to provide details about the name, legislation and nature of the business of the entity reporting to its executive authority in tabular format (example provided below) or in narrative format.

INFORMATION ON PREDETERMINED OBJECTIVES The guidance provided in this section is based on Framework for Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans and Framework for Managing Programme Performance Information which are available on the National Treasury website. Any input or clarification required should be directed to:National Departments Euody Mogaswa Budget Office, National Treasury Euody.

Performance information, (i.e. information on predetermined objectives), is key to effective management planning, budgeting, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting. Measuring performance ensures that policy, planning, budgeting and reporting are aligned in order to achieve improved service delivery. Performance information indicates how well an institution is meeting its aims and objectives, and which policies and processes are working. Making the best use of available data and knowledge is crucial for improving the execution of government's mandate. Performance information also facilitates effective accountability, enabling legislators, members of the public and other interested parties to track progress of government activities, identify the scope for improvement and better understand the issues involved. The performance information reported in the annual report enables parliament, provincial legislatures and the public to track government performance, and to hold it accountable. Performance information also needs to be available to managers at each stage of the planning, budgeting and reporting cycle so that they can adopt a results-based approach to managing service delivery. This approach emphasises planning and managing with a focus on desired results, and managing inputs and activities to achieve these results. Departments must ensure that there is alignment in terms of the strategic objectives and its associated targets between the Strategic Plans, Annual Performance Plans and budget documents. The programme performance must clearly report on the department’s performance against service
13

delivery objectives and targets as identified in the Strategic Plans, Annual Performance Plans1 and budget documents.

The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
2.1.4
Overview of the service delivery environment for 2011/12
In order to assist users of the annual report to gain an understanding of the challenges, successes and other factors that might impact on a department’s performance, it is necessary to provide the users with an overview of the context within which the department operated and sought to implement its Strategic Plans and Annual Performance Plans. A department should seek to give a balanced overview of the environment in which it operated during the past year and not merely focus on factors that might be offered as ‘mitigating circumstances’ to support the department’s delivery record. The overview should include: commentary on the department’s overall performance, outlining its key outputs, particularly relating to services rendered directly to the public. The department should list all the key services that it renders to the public, and provide relevant information on each such service, for example, how many people used that service during the financial year, how many people were turned away or could not be served and what was the quality of that service, commentary on the problems encountered by the department when providing the relevant services, and what corrective steps were/are to be taken in dealing with such problems, explanations/reasons for any additions to or virement between the main appropriation allocations, a report on any rollovers from the previous financial year, and a description of any significant developments, external to the department, that may have impacted either on the demand for the department’s services or on the department’s ability to deliver those services. The department must also highlight significant achievements with regard to the 12 outcomes announced by the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation. This is only applicable to departments that directly contribute to the achievement of one or more of the 12 outcomes. A department that does not directly contribute to any of the 12 outcomes must highlight significant achievements with regard to its own outcome(s).
2.1.5
Overview of the organisational environment for 2011/12
The annual report should provide readers with an understanding of the organisational challenges and successes experienced by the department in the year under review. The aim of this ‘overview of the organisational environment’ is to provide a description of any significant developments internal to the department that may have impacted on the department’s ability to deliver on its Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plan. For example:
15
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
the resignation and/or appointment of key personnel such as the Accounting Officer or the Chief Financial Officers, a strike by significant portions of the personnel employed by the department, or, restructuring efforts, significant system failures or cases of corruption. Given that these are factors internal to the department and therefore ostensibly within the department’s control, it would be expected that the department gives some indication of any measures that were adopted to mitigate the impact of these events on service delivery.
2.1.6
Key policy developments and legislative changes
The department should describe any major changes to relevant policies or legislation that may have effected its operations during the period under review or for future financial periods.
2.1.7
Departmental revenue, expenditure, and other specific topics
Collection of departmental revenue Departments must describe in some detail how they have delivered on the plans for collecting departmental revenue.
Where a department has under-performed, it should give reasons and
indicate what measures were taken during the course of the year to keep on target, and what future measures will be taken to try and rectify the under-performance. Where it exceeded its target, the department should provide reasons for the better than anticipated performance. The department can also use this section to report on new measures instituted during the course of the year to raise additional revenue or to ensure more efficient/effective collection. Where there were sales of capital assets, reasons for such a sale must be provided.
16

2.1.8
Departmental expenditure
The primary aim of the departmental expenditure section is to explore how actual expenditure differed from planned expenditure and how this may have impacted on service delivery. The secondary aim is to provide the department with an opportunity to report on measures that were adopted to improve the economy and efficiency of spending on each programme.
2.1.9
Transfer payments (if applicable)
The transfer payments section provides for funds that have been transferred to other institutions, provinces, municipalities, public entities, business enterprises and individuals and, therefore, does not
17
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
constitute final expenditure by the department.
Public entities however receive sizeable transfer
payments from government and are often the front-line providers of services. It is therefore important to understand the impact of these services on the community. Departments are requested to provide a narrative on the services provided by these entities as well as a summary of all transfers to entities. Most important, the department must assess the actual amount spent by such entities (excluding individuals or social grant payments), and indicate when a full spending report can be provided (in the next annual report). Departments must also comment on monthly monitoring systems or the lack thereof to monitor spending on such transfers. If such monitoring did take place, departments must provide details of difficulties experienced and what steps (if any) were taken to rectify such difficulties.
2.1.10 Public Entities This section must provide a narrative of the significant achievements of targets for each trading and/or public entity that has received transfer payments from the oversight department for the 2011/2012 financial year. Any other deliverables by the trading and/or public entity can also be stated here. The narrative must also briefly provide a synopsis on how the achievement of targets has contributed towards achieving the department’s outcomes which will invariably impact on the strategic priorities of government.
Legislation s38(1)(j) (PFMA)
Departments are further requested to provide a summary report on the institution’s compliance with section 38(1)(j) of the PFMA which requires the accounting officer of the transferring department to ensure that “before transferring any funds to an entity within or outside government must obtain written assurance from the entity that the entity implements effective efficient and transparent financial management and internal control systems or, if such written assurance is not or cannot be given render the transfer of the funds subject to conditions and remedial measures requiring the entity to establish and implement effective efficient and transparent financial management and internal control systems.”
2.1.11 Conditional grants and earmarked funds These grants were introduced in 1998/99 to support national priorities, particularly in the social services sector. They enable national priorities to be provided for in the budgets of other spheres of government. They are viewed as part of voted funds.
18
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
(Further details regarding conditional grants must be given in note 1 to the annual financial statements.) The Division of Revenue Act 1 of 2011 (DORA) requires that annual reports and financial statements of the transferring and receiving departments must also include information on conditional grants set out in schedules 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Act. Section 13(1) and (2) of DORA outlines information that should be included in the annual reports of the transferring national offices. Section 13(3) and (4) of DORA outlines information that should be included in the annual reports and financial statements of the receiving provincial departments and municipalities. In order to comply with this requirement, the annual report of the transferring department should include the following information on conditional grants transferred: Overview of departmental grants, types of grants, total allocations, transfer trends. A summary of all grants should be provided in the annexures to the Annual Financial Statements, Outline of the purpose and expected outputs for each grant, Explanation of whether transfers were made as scheduled, into the accredited accounts for the receiving spheres. In situations where payments were either delayed (failure to pay according to the payment schedule) or withheld (non-transfers) explain the reasons and the extent to which the department complied with the relevant sections of DORA, Indication whether any portion of the grant was retained at the national department for administration costs. Briefly describe the nature of the administration costs, Analysis of spending trends for each grant, indicating the extent to which the department monitored compliance with the conditions of the grant.
Highlighting specific areas in which
compliance fell short of requirements and steps taken in situations where a province or municipality failed to comply, Indication of the extent to which the outputs were achieved, providing a comparative analysis of provincial performance against their targets. Where performance fell short of expectations outline the reasons and measures taken to improve performance in the coming years if the grant is continuing, An overall assessment of compliance with the DORA, both by the department and the receiving spheres, and explain any measures taken in a situation where there was non-compliance. The receiving department should include the following information in the annual report on conditional grants received: An overview of grants received, including types and total amount received, An indication of the total amount of actual expenditure on all allocations,
19
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
Confirmation that all transfers were deposited into the accredited bank account of the Provincial Treasury, An indication of the extent to which the objectives were achieved, with a comparative analysis of provincial performance against targets. Where performance fell short of expectations, outline the reasons and measures taken to improve performance in the coming years if the grant is continuing. An overall assessment of compliance with the Act, and an explanation of any measures taken in situations where there was non-compliance.
2.1.12 Capital investment, maintenance and asset management plan Departments are required to develop a capital investment and asset management plan.
The
Estimates of Provincial Revenue and Expenditure should be used as a guide for provincial departments to report on capital projects, while the ENE should be used for national departments to report on the capital investment, asset management and maintenance within departments. Capital investment The following information must be provided with regard to the department’s capital investment programme: Building projects that are currently in progress (list projects) and when are they expected to be completed, Plans to close down or down-grade any current facilities, The current maintenance backlog and how the department plans to deal with such over the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period, Developments relating to the above that are expected to impact on the department’s current expenditure. Asset Management Departments are required to provide an overview of the fixed and significant movable assets under the control of the department. The following information should be included: Details as to how asset holdings have changed over the period under review, including information on disposals, scrapping and loss due to theft, Measures taken to ensure that the department’s asset register remained up-to-date during the period under review, The current state of the department’s capital stock, for example what percentage is in good, fair or bad condition,
20
The Annual Report Guide 2011/12
Major maintenance projects that have been undertaken during the period under review, Facilities that were closed down or down-graded during the period under review, Projects that will be carried forward to the forthcoming financial year, New projects that will commence in the forthcoming financial year, Processes in place for the tendering of projects. The Government Immovable Asset Management Act (GIAMA) has been promulgated. It promotes the sound management of the immovable assets that national and provincial departments use or control. It makes a distinction between users and custodians. The intention is for Accounting Officers of user or custodian departments to be accountable for the use of immovable assets as prescribed by the PFMA and the GIAMA. The User Immovable Asset Management Plan (UAMP) ensures the following: Accountable, fair and transparent management of immovable assets, Effective, efficient and economic use of immovable assets, Reduced overall cost of service delivery, Reduced demand for new immovable assets. The UAMP for each government department must inform the budget allocation process in terms of the annual performance plans of the Department. The UAMPs relate to the accommodation requirements and current utilization of immovable assets by National Government Departments and some agencies, aligned to their strategic objectives and Strategic Plans.
Refer to Government Immovable Asset Management Act, 2007 (GIAMA) Maintenance Departments must provide details of expenditure on normal maintenance of property assets during the period under review as far as applicable to the department. (The National Treasury’s Asset Management Guidelines should also be used as a guide when reporting on capital assets.) The details should include the following: How the actual expenditure compares to what the department planned to spend on maintenance. Whether the expenditure is more or less than the property industry norms. Progress made in addressing the maintenance backlog during the period under review, for example, has the backlog grown or become smaller? Is the rate of progress according to plan? If not why not, and what measures were taken to keep on track?

In the table below, departments should report on performance indicators and targets for each 2
programme or every sub-programme under each Programme as specified in the ENE and Annual Performance Plan (APP) for both national and provincial departments.
2
Departments have an option to provide details at programme or sub-programme level. Ideally, details should be provided at sub-programme level as information at sub-programme level is more comprehensive.

Job evaluation The Public Service Regulations, 1999 introduced job evaluation as a way of ensuring that work of equal value is remunerated equally. Within a nationally determined framework, executing authorities may evaluate or re-evaluate any job in his or her organisation. In terms of the Regulations all vacancies on salary levels 9 and higher must be evaluated before they are filled. This was complemented by a decision by the Minister for the Public Service and Administration that all SMS jobs must be evaluated before 31 December 2002. The following table (Table 4.1) summarises the number of jobs that were evaluated during the year under review. The table also provides statistics on the number of posts that were upgraded or downgraded.
